does anybody know, or can help me find the part number for the oem shim kit to install gears... and just to make sure..

i need the following:

FD gear
OEM shim kit
yellow box

i am not doing the install myself, but i want to make sure i have all the parts before i take the diff off to drop off at my mechanics place..

 

#11. You can buy the whole set, or buy separate ones if you know exactly what thickness you need.

BTW, which final drive did you go with? Also, update with driving impression after installation.

 

i am going with the 4.77's from kia (mazda made)... so am i correct with the parts that am going to need... how exactly do i know which one i am going to need. Those parts are cheap, but buying the whole kit seems very expensive if i am only going to be using one of the many that i end up buying...

 

Some people do all the bearings but I personally wouldn't unless I knew they were bad. According to the helms you should replace the locknut, crush sleeve and an oil seal also. I would say you could prob get away without doing the oil seal but the others I would do. As for the shims you can't really tell which you need until you have it apart and then it's kind of trial and error. You might get away with ordering a bunch around the standard one. I wanna go with the 4.77s also but I drive on the highway ALOT and I think I may get annoyed.

edit:
heres some part#'s:
crush sleeve: 41271-PCZ-003
lock nut: 90201-PCZ-003
oil seal: 91201-PCZ-003

 

http://www.gtmotoring.com/moto...n.htm has the shim kit available... its kind aexpensive but Im pretty sure it has every shim needed.

can anyone else back me up???

 

Rather than wasting 155 on a bunch of shims I would much rather order the correct one during installation and deal with the down time of a couple days.

 

well i have a buddy at honda, so i am going to be getting a discount on all oem honda parts that i order.. I just need to make sure i have everything on hand for when i take it to get installed... If anyone else knows of parts that will be needed please chime in...

The OEM set is $135. Should be the same set.

 

after looking at that website that the guy above me posted, there is an oem install kit and an oem shim kit... do i need both? still slightly confused as to what all i need to make this happen...

 

Shim set, oil seals, HondaBond.
